So Jesus voice apart from His written word is what we follow? Or Jesus' written Word like the verses you wrote is what we follow? Or is there supposed to be agreement between the written Word and the Spirit?

The way you explained the verse I quoted from your post, it really doesn't say anything about whether we vote or not. However, you used it as a catch-all to include voting.

OK, I follow you. But my question was at least two-fold: (1) is there any instruction that would tell us whether a Christian should or should not participate in the voting process - especially considering the vote is normally about the lesser of two evils?; (2) does the Lord tell some of us to vote and some of us not to vote - especially since we're also commanded to test the spirits because some of them are not of Him and are deceiving?

The apostle Paul used his Roman citizenship repeatedly to force government officials to follow the law. By that you can conclude that the Lord does not expect us to ignore our rights as citizens.

Jesus told them to render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars and the things that are God's unto God. By that we can conclude that we are to be responsible citizens recognizing that the worldly governments do have things that belong to them and that we have a responsibility to pay them what we owe, like taxes. But citizens are also required to be on juries and it is also considered a responsibility of citizens to vote. Of those you are obligated to pay taxes, you are obligated to show up for jury duty, but there is no requirement to vote.

In Acts we are told that God sets up rulers and casts them down as He pleases. By that we should understand that the outcome of elections, coups, revolutions and the such like are under the Lord's authority. We may have an opinion, we may vote, but in the end these things are in God's hands and we should recognize that and realize that all things work together for good to those that love God.

I am not aware of any New Testament requirement to vote, but I am aware of being charged to pray for these governments and the people in the government.

Okay, let's say it was staged. Donald Trump got all the secret service and police together and said, here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna get a guy who knows he will get it, and he will pretend to shoot me but will actually shoot someone in the crowd. And by the way, the Jews are with me on this and it was their idea. No one in the secret sevice or police says wait a minute, this sounds a little nuts. Yeah, sounds real rational.
